[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an air conditioner used for heating and cooling a room.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an air conditioner used for cooling and heating a room has been constructed so that cold air or warm air is blown out from an outlet. Therefore, the room can be cooled or heated by forcibly convection and agitating the air in the room by the cold air or the warm air blown out from the air outlet.

[0003]

In the conventional air conditioner, since the suction port and the blowout port are arranged close to each other,
Since most of the cool air or warm air that contributes to air conditioning does not convection in the entire room but does convection in a part of the room, it was not possible to uniformly heat and cool the room. Therefore, a unique air-conditioning method that evenly heats and cools a room is disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication 1-572.
Proposed as No. 59.

In the air-conditioning method disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 1-57259, when cooling, cool air is discharged from an opening (exhaust port) provided near the floor, and warmed cool air is provided near the ceiling. In order to circulate the air by sucking it in through the opening (suction port), the warm air is discharged from the discharge port provided near the ceiling, and the cooled warm air is drawn in from the suction port provided near the floor and circulated. is there. According to the heating / cooling method disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 1-57259, it is possible to uniformly heat / cool the entire room with a slight temperature difference. However, Japanese Examined Patent 1-572
No. 59 does not disclose the configuration of the air conditioner used for the heating and cooling method.

Moreover, although the example in which the openings 12D, 12L, and 12R are provided in the suction part 11 has been described, only the opening 12D or the opening 12 is provided.
The same applies to L and 12R only, and the openings 12L and 12R
In this case, the suction part 11 can be brought into contact with the floor F or the ceiling C.

Further, the discharge part 21 (or 21A)
Although the example in which only the opening 22F is provided on the side has been described,
Alternatively, the same effect can be obtained by providing an opening only on the side surface or providing an opening and a louver.
Even when an object is placed on the front surface during cooling, it is possible to secure an area for securing the discharge amount of cool air. When the opening, the opening and the louver are also provided on the side surface, the discharge area can be increased and the intended purpose can be easily achieved.

Further, the suction portion 11 has openings 12D, 12
L and 12R are provided, and the openings 22 are formed in the discharge portions 21 and 21A.
Although the example in which F is provided has been described, if the suction part is only the opening 11D and the discharge part is also an opening facing the ceiling C or the floor F, the ducts of the suction part and the discharge part have the same structure, and the manufacturing is simplified. At the same time, it can be manufactured at low cost. Furthermore, although an example in which a length adjusting mechanism that adjusts the overall length and an opening length adjusting mechanism that adjusts the length of the opening 22F are provided in the discharge portion 21A has been described, the opening length adjusting mechanism uses a mechanism that opens and closes the opening 22F. It may be configured to have only one.

Then, the first and second connecting portions 31D,
31U or 1st and 2nd connection part 31Da, 31U
Although the example in which a is provided has been described, the first and second connecting portions 3
1D, 31Da or first and second connecting portions 31D
a, 31Ua is not provided, the first or second connecting portion 31D, 31U or the first or second connecting portion 3
Only one of 1Da and 31Ua can function in the same manner, and the same effect can be obtained.
